Hi, I'm Lea (Lee-uh) a 17 year old girl, and car nut.
I'm going to be getting a Celica soon (possibly buying back my moms old one) for really cheap (just wait, I'll explain) and I don't care what's up with the engine, I'm going to pull one out of a junkyard and have it rebuilt. I read the topic about what engines will and won't fit. From that list I'm leaning toward the 3S-GTE, but id wondered about the engine from a. '04-'06 Camry (a 3MZ-FE V6). I don't know if this would fit in the engine bay, or if I would have to get a new transmission along with that. Or would I be better off finding a 3S-GTE? I want something more powerful than a 7A-FE or a 5S-GE. I'm still learning and don't know much about interchangeable parts. Also, about how much would it be if I had a new transmission installed in a '94 ST coupe? -------------------- If knowledge is the key then idiots are locked out

If I'm going to have the engine rebuilt, would it be a good idea to have a new transmission put in to go with the 'new' engine? I'm asking because ideally, I want the car to run as smoothly as a 'new born' right out of the factory. Also, since the car will be used, could the computer be messed up? If so, how would I go about fixing it? I know those are a lot of questions, but I've only got exparience with old chevys and fords as far as working on cars and I have so much to learn (and can't wait to learn).

Its so rare to have a messed up ecu, but lets say you do, then just go out and get a new ecu. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
